Emulate Governor Oborevwori, Dan Orbih South-South PDP Chair tells other Governors
By Austin Ogwuda
The South-South Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, says Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State is a shining example of what leadership is all about and called on other Governors to emulate him.
Orbih stated this Wednesday, when he led the South-South zonal working Committee of the party on a courtesy visit to the Governor at Government House, Asaba.
Said he, “As the immediate past Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, your wealth of experience alone has placed the state on good stead for a harmonious working relationship between the executive and the legislature.
“Now the elections are over and it is time for you to deliver on your campaign promises and we have observed with satisfaction the steps you have taken since you took over.
“You are building roads and bridges and you have shown great example of what leadership is all about.
“Today in the South-South zone, it is difficult for people to travel from one state to another but we thank you for not abandoning the federal link roads in Delta State which you have been repairing because of your love for Deltans.
“We urge other States to emulate your kind gesture because our people in the South-South zone are going through very difficult times because of the poor state of federal roads. You have shown good example and I believe others will emulate what you are doing in Delta”, he stated.
He went on to say that with Governor Douye Diri’s sterling performance in Bayelsa, “PDP is set to retain the State in the coming governorship election.”
Orbih noted that the South South has remained the stronghold of the party in the country and assured that from the steps taken so far by Oborevwori as Governor of Delta, the people stood to gain immensely from his M.O.R.E Agenda.
“From the steps you have taken so far as Governor of Delta State”, he went on, “we have no doubt that the people will benefit immensely from your M.O.R.E Agenda”.
Responding, Governor Oborevwori thanked the party hierarchy for their support, assuring that he would continue to do his best to provide sterling leadership for the people of the state who trusted him with their mandate.He commended Orbih for his support to Bayelsa Governor’s re-election, saying that the party had performed creditably in the state.
“Chief Dan Orbih is somebody that l know and once he believes in something, he stands by it. When l wanted to contest for governorship election, l went to his house to seek his blessing and from that date, he followed up with my ambition.
“I am happy that you have taken a very bold step by going to Bayelsa to support our own brother who is doing extremely well.”Governor Douye Diri is a very good leader who has done a lot for his people.
“When you get to Bayelsa, you will see quite a lot of impressive projects. Even with the bad terrain, you can see that he has constructed roads and even a flyover and a bridge.
“So, he has done very well. He is a very popular man that has been accepted by his people and l believe that, by the special grace of God, victory will come to PDP”, said Governor
